Somewhere Only We Know

It is a place where we always would meet

in cases of where we are caught. 

Our rendezvous, our little niche and our confines

as this is the place for us. 

This is where we are off together and 

the spaces between are not the limits of our

distance to each other but rather our connectivity.

It is a feeling where words had already melted, cooled

and sublimed itself into the air as you and I have made

its echos and whispers into it. 

Echos and whispers that turned into wishes and secrets 

that the sky and ocean only knows its depths and 

meanings when we dive in to relish them again.

No shape, no line, but impurity and majesty is cloaked in 

these beauties written out in the stars and sands that

pieces its way to the universe...

It is an emotional foundation, one not toppled or tumbled 

as the cracks and crevices already present itself 

it stands tallest even in the mightiest tempests.

It erects monumentally in moments of our weakness

as it catches us ever so gently and pulls us back together.

A view like no other of which our hearts are mended and

healed as this is what it feels like when we are together 

underneath this umbrella.

Somewhere only we know,

our hearts presciently have bridged this moment a lifetime ago 

only we were unaware of how to cross it without fear or hesitancy.

our souls have conversed deeply when the skies and oceans have met

its ways, parted their skies and swam for each other's depths and back.

our minds exchanged vows without logic or action because it called

itself impulsively with a chorus like no other. 

Somewhere only we know,

we loved each other a thousand and one and on nights ago, 

but we are starting over again one minute at a time.

we found the keys to our doorway that leads to the universes

we never shared to those around us as we had built these walls

we tore it down and found the smallest key that fit in our soul.

we said those words before we began to imagine what 

their meanings meant as we knew longer the frequencies of 

what the freedom we have for each other as we kept moving 

forward never looking back those who admonish our way 

of loving together.

Somewhere only we know,

you and I became us.

1+1 became 2 divided its feelings 

into 1 again where the remainders were doubt, fear and hesitancy...

but to where they all ended 

it became clear to us 

that somewhere only we know 

that you and I will be where we are meant to love 

one another - 

an Elysian plane where imperfections meet, idiosyncratic 

are the norm, and impurities are pure...

this is where you and I belong.

Our kind of heaven and hell where we really belong.

this is moving me--especially standing tallest even in the mightiest tempests-there is something personal in that for me about the Rock of Gibralter. I love poems about strength,about being able to survive .... I notice that you write about nature also.Hope you don't mind if I say that I see a certain wild kind of spirituality in your writing--and, it is as invigorating

for the audience to read as well as you have said they are invigorating for you to write.Thank you for this.

I really enjoyed this, its an unspoken place/feeling. I thought of it like... "We both see the same moon when we look in the sky" or how you get those gut feelings of happiness like everything is right or the gut feelings that someone needs you. It is a beautiful thing to have with another person (that unspoken place). On the other hand spaces can be vast and the distance mixed with emotions can be tragic or heart wrenching at best. I guess in the end if you have ever had this sort of thing with another human being you should in some way consider yourself lucky. It is still a deep bond, yet still hard to ignore so you/they can move on. Or maybe it is that you have this bond to be able to still look out for someone? Lol you can tell this makes me think...I like very much :)

Yep, that's what it feels like in three different places like it's a longing and one too familiar of it can be really either living it in the moment, being breathless and or just swept away by those feelings. It is, it is (that's why it is unspoken). At best that is true but the shortest distances in between those can be laughter, a smile or a hint of a blush when they speak of it. You're right, it is lucky but also tragic too when moved on. No matter what though there's that light at the end of the tunnel and you just hope even though it's dim there is a glimpse of hope that somewhere, in a universe (far away lol) it is still considered chance/fate. Lol hey I enjoyed it too! Thank you very much :)
